Esoteric Global Predictions for 2018

As Jupiter moves into the sign of Scorpio in January through to November 2018, the key focus will be on the transformation of the ego personality, greedily acquiring wealth and comfort, to a higher aspirant level of expressing Ray 2’s love-wisdom in service to others. Humanity has the potential to seek the truth and light via spiritual quests, pilgrimages and voyages during this time – however, the caution is be careful of searching in the wrong places; for example, by being lured in by false prophets who seemingly know the truth. Jupiter’s spiritual quest in Scorpio via its esoteric ruler, Mars, is to bring the light into the dark and to zealously free humanity from the evils of harmfulness and abuse.This is a time for us all to bring spiritual light into dark places in our own lives as well as being a loving guide for those going through major life challenges.We may see great spiritual heroes emerge in 2018 whose lives can be modelled upon by humanity.This is a pivotal year for transcending the ego with the practice of raja yoga and mindfulness meditation on a regular basis, especially around the Full Moon every month. Jupiter in Scorpio has great potential to transform intense and destructive energy into healing power for humanity’s wellbeing and further evolutionary growth.

Saturn moves into Capricorn in January 2018 for a two-and-a-half year period of karmic release, to do with letting go the ego’s lower ambitions related to greed, power and control. Saturn, through its own sign, is giving humanity an opportunity to bring ambitions into right balance.The challenge will come in using power positively with integrity, fairness and compassion.Saturn, being the Lord of Karma, suggests extreme vigilance in this regard, or further karmic retributions are possible.The Active-Intelligence Ray 3 of mental cleverness is giving us an opportunity to learn quickly from the lessons of karma, so that wiser choices can be made. Respect and a love of the masses, as well as solid inclusive leadership can be the rewards for those leading others during 2018, especially in politics and governmental agencies.

Uranus, known as the ‘Awakener’, moves into Taurus in May 2018, creating a desire for material prosperity, as well as improved economic conditions. Humanity will be cautioned to not greedily attain material things just for the sheer desire of possession.Uranus’ esoteric goal will be to create right human values to live by – to revolutionise and update economic systems, so that wealth is spread equally amongst the masses. Expect to see financial whizz kids introducing new revolutionary economic systems, as well as the end of banks and the capitalist system as we know it. Uranus in Taurus has the potential to create harmony, beauty and light on the earth through original and innovative means.We are likely to see many new avant-garde artists and entertainers producing innovative works of art and productions that will have world-changing messages to create global peace and harmony.Community gardens and farmer’s markets producing local produce in abundance, with home-made organic products hitting the selves, will be on the rise.

In July – September 2018, a couple of wonderful grand trine aspect patterns in our cosmos will surround our planet. This involves Saturn trine Uranus, Venus & Mercury all in earth signs.The solar angels will be awakening the lower mind of humanity to new belief systems and values that are ‘Good, Beautiful and True’. The 2nd Ray of Love & Wisdom, 3rd Ray of Active Intelligence and the 4th Ray of Harmony through Conflict, sprinkling down upon the earth at this time, have the potential to awaken aspirants to new ways of loving and living in harmony and peace with their fellow human beings.

Whilst 2018 and future years may seem daunting – from an esoteric perspective, this can be a positive thing.Humanity is ready to experience change as is being shown by the higher evolutionary impulses of so many outer planets changing signs this year.Economic hardships can bring people together, impelling positive evolution, especially if people decide to enterprise in new ways within their communities.This is the promise of Uranus moving through the earth sign of Taurus, for future sustainable living conditions that benefits all of humanity.

The following Raja Yoga Meditation assists in this process (especially potent on Pisces Full Moon on 2 March) : As you sit in complete stillness, visualize in front of you a long passage way, narrow and dark.

Meditate on your seed thought: “I leave my Father’s Home and turning back, I save”.

Extra :

Meditation is one of the ways that we find to help us recognize our true identity as an incarnated soul.We begin to realise that our physical, emotional and mental faculties are only forms for the expression of soul purpose.This process involves the cultivation of humility within the personality and eventually, the total surrender of ego identity.Simultaneously and magically, we experience a shift to identification as soul.This begins the journey to the soul’s identity with spirit, which leads to Mastery, or as it is referred to in esoteric astrology, Christ Consciousness.
